VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When driving at highway speeds with speed control on the car will on its own slow down to 55 or 45 for no apparent reason and will not pick up the highway speed until the next sped limit sign is passed. More concerning is running at speed control set of 55mph on [XXX] the car speeds up when passing a state highway 70 sign the car ...on its own ...speeds up to 70mph. This happened numerous times between Eagle River, WI and Woodruff, WI. When slowing down thru a town the speed control slowed down on its own to 45 then 35 and as we left town the speed control on its own speed up tp 45 , then we passed another Wisconsin highway #70 sign the car speed up to 70 until 50 feet later we passed a 55mph speed sign and the car slowed to 55. Very concerning and the Ford dealer in Eagle River asked if we were on [XXX] ? I answered yes and he acted like he has heard that complaint before, and that there was no known fix to the issue. In our travels we stopped at a Ford dealer in Hazelwood, MO. and the service writer said he had never had heard of the issue. Any help with this ongoing issue would be helpful.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined that the panoramic sunroof brackets had fractured and needed to be replaced. The brackets were replaced; however, the failure later reoccurred. The contact was informed by the local dealer that the sunroof glass was too heavy for the brackets used to secure the sunroof. The contact was concerned that once the vehicle was repaired, the failure would likely recur. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 10,000.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was in a car accident on June 12, 2025, and my steering wheel airbag did not deploy correctly or function correctly. It was a front in straightforward collision. I did not have warning signs so my brakes could have been an issue because I was paying attention and unable to avoid an accident going under the speed limit. The rear cross traffic. Warning stays on pretty consistently because we live down a dirt road, and every time it rains, it again comes back on. I do not believe I heard the forward collision detection go off either. When I hit the back of a work convoy truck straight on, My steering wheel airbag did not deploy correctly. It did come out it never inflated. It did not protect me. I do not have any broken bones, but I do have a hematoma right beside my under arm, and a great deal of bruising.

SUSPENSION
The differential came apart while my family and I were traveling on the highway out of town. This cause the vehicle to start violently jolting and wheels locked up. The vehicle began to skid across the center line into on coming traffic, we were almost hit head on and from behind due to this. My husband couldn’t get the vehicle to move, it was making a grinding and screeching noise. Finally, he got it into 4x4 mode and was able to move the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. This was a very traumatic and terrifying experience for my whole family, we literally thought we were doing to die. Not to mention, there was no indication or warning that notified us on the dashboard. Since we were 100 miles from home, I had to have my vehicle towed, partially at my expense to the closest Ford dealership in California, which was still 40 miles from my home. The service department confirmed it was the differential, it took almost two weeks to get the part and to fix it. Since, my vehicle was practically brand new and only had 2000 miles on it, the repair was covered under warranty. I contacted Ford customer service and notified them of what happened. I requested them to buy back the vehicle, however they declined. Now I am stuck with a brand new $75,000 vehicle with only 2150 miles on it, that I do not feel safe driving my family in. If one major issue has already happened, then the probability of something else major happening is pretty good. I’m extremely disappointed in Ford for not standing by their vehicles.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
We are driving cross country. Three times the adaptive cruise control has accelerated and showed a new speed going as much as from 74 mph to 107 the third time. The second it went 75 to 88. I can’t remember the first but I know we had a sudden acceleration and quickly disengaged as we did all three sessions. Now we are finishing our trip to our summer home in Maryland without engaging because we don’t trust the system.

POWER TRAIN
At 715 miles on the odometer, the driver's side rear axle became detached from the wheel hub bearing, causing a loss of power while driving. Dealer states this was a manufacturing defect as the axle retaining bolt was cross-threaded and not properly seated.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While using the adaptive cruise control, the speed of the vehicle rapids accelerates. If set to any speed less than 50, the vehicle speeds up to 56mph. If set to any speed greater than 56 but less than 86 mph, the speed of the vehicle accelerates to 86 mph. I have tested this issue over and over. I haven't talked to the dealership yet, but plan to today. Very scary to have the vehicle accelerate for no reason and for no driver input. The acceleration is fairly abrupt. The speed does not decline only speeds up.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
When driving my entire window switch controller unit stopped working on the driver's side. At the time the window was partially down. After research I came to find this has been a common problem with the switch unit in Expeditions, F150s, Explorers. This is a safety issue as you cannot get the window to roll up which allows rain and snow to enter the driver's side door and affect your vision. Also, because the whole switch unit stopped working at once, I can not fold/unfold my side mirrors and I can not adjust them. I have an appointment on April 8th for repair. The switch should be available for inspection with them then. There were no warning lights prior to it stopping working.

Purchased this vehicle back in December. Dealaer never disclosed recall information associated with this vehicle. There was a stop sale doc sent out November for affected vehicles. However we were still sold this vehicle. I thought it was federally prohibited to sell a New vehicle which Tallahassee Ford did. They sold me this vehicle with no fix in sight. And now there's a 2nd recall. So not sure what we can do

I just picked up the vehicle from the dealership where I was told a previous software updated addressed the wipers not working. But once again while driving they will not operate. This is a major safety issue, the vehicle was being driven in the rain...this is a highly dangerous situation that likely affects many if not all 2022-2024 Expeditions, especially with the 15" Sync 4 system and it's APIM module.

The wipers will randomly stop working. The washer fluid spray does operate so pressing the button will spray the windshield but the wipers won't operate. Ford dealership has serviced it and said it's due to software problems with the APIM module. There is no fix and that same module is affecting other features which have not worked since I purchased the vehicle. For a year I've been told a software fix is coming.

On 1/7/25, I took my (less than 4 month old) Ford Expedition to Midwest Ford to have the oil changed and to have a rattle in the roof examined. I was told they had time for the oil change, but I'd have to make an appointment for the rattle and they were about 2 weeks out on appointments. In the meantime, I was on a 3 hour road trip, and approximately 10 minutes before arriving at my destination, the sunroof glass shattered. Because it had a rattle, I had the interior cover closed to prevent listening to the loud rattle. Had I not had it closed, that glass would have shattered on myself and my children while driving 60+ mph. This happened on [XXX], at approximately [XXX]. I have photo evidence upon arriving at home and inspecting the damage. My safety and the safety of my children was definitely put at risk. Had the interior not been closed, the explosion/shattering could have easily caused a wreck. When hearing the noise, I ducked, initially thinking something outside the vehicle had exploded. It wasn't until I heard/felt the air coming through that I realized it was the sunroof. I took the vehicle in first thing Monday morning to be examined by Midwest Ford. The service manager informed me that I couldn't prove nothing hit the vehicle so it probably wouldn't be covered. He refused to acknowledge that I had brought it in for a rattle and felt something was not right. His "claim" is that Ford denied the warranty claim because I couldn't prove something didn't hit the glass and cause it to shatter. We were on a 2 lane highway with no vehicles nearby and no outside weather conditions that would have initiated the shatter. No warning messages were present, other than the rattle that was clearly present. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The issue involves the purchase of a 2024 Ford Expedition Max, VIN [XXX] , which purchased on [XXX] from Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. Since purchasing this vehicle, I have encountered the following persistent issues that substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle: The vehicle was sold to me seemingly infested with rodents, which ate away much of the internal wiring of the engine compartment. The wiring is manufactured with soy-based sheathing, which is a well-known defect and further known to attract rodents/vermin and as I only possessed the vehicle in question for 3 weeks and 5 days (when first sensor light came on and only drove it 1383 miles (7 weeks total). I have been forced to make an insurance claim for this damage, which I feel was resultant of a manufacturing defect, but due to the inexcusable part delay in obtaining replacement wiring, the rental on my policy ran out. I have requested on several occasions, a VIN swap for a different vehicle and was told that this was not something the dealership could do. Despite these defects not being addressed at the Legacy Ford in Corbin, KY. I believe the wiring damage is too extensive to be adequately and safely repaired and I have been without my vehicle, while still making payments and paying out of pocket for transportation for 3 months now. Alton Blakely Ford of Corbin still has not repaired this clearly defective vehicle and the defects continue to exist. As of this letter, the vehicle's odometer reads 1,396 and I have only had the vehicle available to me for my usage for 3 weeks and 5 days. The vehicle is still in the shop and the only response I receive from them is that they are waiting on the part and they have no ide when it may be available. I have written to Ford Motor company and after many e-mail exchanges, the matter was closed by them with no resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

The rear view camera is so pixelated that you cannot make our images, ESPECIALLY at night. Ford has stated that they have knowledge that "some" "2022-2024 Expedition vehicles equipped with an analog camera and a 12-inch center display screen may exhibit a rear camera image that the customer describes as grainy, fuzzy, or pixelated" Ford claims this may be due to the interaction between the analog camera and the high-definition digital center display screen. They also state to us customers that there is no repair and not to attempt any repairs for this condition because the NHTSA has not released any recall for this KNOWN issue. this is extremely hazardous and negligent.

I recently purchased this vehicle new from Denny Menholt Ford in Butte, MT. When purchasing I was told they added a third brake light Pulse system as a requirement on all of their vehicles. Just today I learned that per NHTSA rules it is illegal to have any pulsing brake lights on a vehicle. I wanted to make you aware of the practices of this dealership, as they informed me that the Pulse brake light is a mandatory add on and not negotiable.
